<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This update saw significant movement throughout the rankings, and several players made major jumps based on their recent performances and development. Height and versatility were key factors in the shifts, especially for players who proved they could translate those tools to the next level. Some athletes have already secured a college home, while others are still evaluating their options, but each of them climbed for the same reason—they've shown they can impact the game in multiple ways and elevate their play when it matters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["796845"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-692f7820d16bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaycee recently committed to Western Wyoming, and anyone who has watched her play knows she's the definition of a Swiss Army-knife player. Her length makes her a disruptive defensive presence as she alters passes, clogs lanes, and guards multiple spots without missing a beat. On offense, she keeps defenses honest with her ability to get downhill, knock down perimeter shots, and read pressure. When teams collapse on her, she has the vision to find the open teammate and turn it into an easy bucket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["812025"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-692f7820d171e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Talyssa is a true do-it-all guard with the kind of traits every program wishes they had. Being a lefty already gives her an edge—defenders rarely sit comfortably on that angle—but it's her ability to flip a defensive stand into an instant offensive attack that makes her special. She's a high-level shot-maker with deep range, and the moment she checks in, the tempo changes. Talyssa impacts possessions on both ends and immediately elevates the floor for her team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["808149"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-692f7820d176a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She's the kind of player college coaches circle early, a true junior-college potential with a skill set that translates immediately. Her perimeter shooting stretches the floor, forcing defenses to honor her from beyond the arc, but what makes her even tougher to game-plan for is her size and physicality on the glass. She's strong enough to seal defenders, track rebounds outside her area, and create second-chance points, yet skilled enough to step out and knock down threes with confidence. That inside-out versatility makes her a matchup problem and gives her a clear pathway to the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["789068"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-692f7820d17b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She's the type of scoring threat every defense dreads because she can hurt you at all three levels. With a smooth, controlled spin move, she creates space in traffic and gets downhill efficiently, often leaving her defender recovering a step too late. When she attacks the rim, she has the burst to beat her primary defender off the dribble and the strength to finish through contact. But what makes her even tougher to guard is her ability to stop on a dime and knock down the 3-pointer when defenders sag to protect the drive. That combination of separation creation, rim pressure, and perimeter shooting gives her a complete offensive package—one that consistently forces opponents to pick their poison.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1249685"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-692f7820d17f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Julia is the kind of hybrid scorer coaches love because she can hurt defenses in multiple ways. Her shot is smooth and repeatable, giving her confidence from the perimeter, whether she's spotting up or pulling up off the dribble. With a strong wingspan and a solid frame, she's just as effective playing through contact on the block as she is stretching the floor. She posts up smaller guards with ease, seals well, and finishes through bumps, but she also steps out and knocks down the outside shot. Julia's blend of touch, size, and versatility makes her a matchup problem, and as her decision-making continues to sharpen, she has the potential to be a reliable scoring option at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
